Blown Exhaust Gasket?
So I'm driving my 2008 Boxster S LE and I suddenly notice the exhaust noise is much louder than normal(it was raining), almost like the sound of a blown manifold gasket... The car only has 4,000 miles on it and the closest Porsche dealer is 180 miles away...

Any known issues with the sports exhaust?
Is it possible that water got in the air filter?
Cauld the cold water getting on the hot exhaust have anything to do with this noise?

Partial Update... I called Porsche USA and they will tow the car free of cost to the nearest dealer, It may be nothing or it may be something major and it doesn't make sense driving the car anymore...

Wow!!!!

I love Porsche!!!!
